LESLIE RUCKMAN

PORTFOLIO

I developed a special place in my heart for boutique businesses while growing up amid my family’s Bay Area coffee company. After graduating from San Jose State University with a degree in graphic design and moving to Chicago, my career began in an e-commerce startup as a digital designer, front end web developer and marketer. Despite my initial focus on digital work, my soft spot for all things print has resulted in an ever-evolving hoard of nicely designed print collateral that I collect and use as daily inspiration.

As the pinball capital of the world, Chicago quickly tapped into my unbridled passion for the game. Since moving to the city, I have joined multiple pinball leagues and even keep a small collection of machines at home.
